>>501853468>NOOOOO you can't just spam L2 at me!!!!! It's not fair, my build sucks and I can't compete with a normal game mechanic!!!!!
>>501853468That's what happens when a solo game get multiplayer and some autist dedicate their entire life to griefing innocent players.

>>501853334For endings how long before the end can I use the needle to get rid of the flame? Can I beat the dragon go forward until the final bosses backup the save and get the ending 1 then restore the save go back to use the stuff and enable the other ending for new game plus?
I can't believe the lore community imploded. It's honestly fucking insane to me.

>>501857063I like the pvp I just like discussing alternate development paths it could have/could takeDo you never go like "I wonder how this would play if I use this weapon next time instead?"? Same thing
>>501855394nice photoshop retard
>>501857304You're right anon. I'm sorry, I've just gotten so used to people complaining about L2 that everytime I see it brought up, my conditioning kicks in.
>>501858008Just because it's photoshopped doesn't make the point less valid.
>>501853334
>>501858191>just because it's a schizo malding over invaders doesn't make the point any less validThat's exactly what it does
>>501855372Press X to awesome is a dogshit mechanic, they should add weapon durability back and when the weapon breaks you can no longer use L2, so you either save the l2 to gank the invader or to use it on the boss of the area but they really don't want casuals to have any semblance of difficulty or think for more than 5 seconds about their resources, hell, boss bog fog invasions are LITERALLY free materials for the hosts
>>501855394You mindbroke the /dsg/ tourists.
>>501858136It's okay, I just like talking about potential overhauls (even things I know would be a bad idea, like hunger or terrain mechanics) just to play around with the ideas and I thought of L2 cooldownsI think one advantage is that basically it'd give fromsoft another dial to tick up or down to play around with balancingDidadvantage is that it's another know for fromsoft to tweak so it would cause even more arguememts
>>501858841You're the samefag.
>>501858571Durability I feel like, I liked it but it was basically NEVER relevant, it was super easy to keep it fully repaired, plus I feel like if you made them then like break faster, you'd just like worsen the issue and like have people having like 50 copies of their weapon that they hotswap to whenever it breaks

>>501862236>>501862710samefag
In terms of melee weapon scaling:STR has physical damage and fire damage.DEX has physical damage and lightning damage.FTH has fire damage and holy damage.ARC only comes with physical damage scaling for infusions, but gets somber weapons with not just fire but even magic damage, AND the theoretical highest melee DPS due to the status buildup options.But INT? Just magic.
>>501863553Cold?
a whole 2 years? for this???
>>501863501>still wrongDo you have a fetish for being humiliated in public?
>>501863334Nta but I've never watched sopranos so idk
>>501855372>>501858571>>501859136L2 ashes were always a stupid idea. Make it a normal non-FP based input that varies depending on the weapon, but that would require fixing the weapon movesets which is what From DOESN'T want to do (because they'd have to do real dev work) so they added ashes to make up for normal weapon play being inadequate in a game as fast and stupid as Elden Ring. This goes in hand with R2 being a wasted input because stationary charge attacks are awful to use and don't make any sense (neither does guard countering but hey, people like being rewarded for doing nothing).
A staff (or soreseal) that has a stronger spell scaling stat the more empty memory slots it has
>>501864449What did L2 do in Dark Souls and Sekiro if they didn't have ashes of war?
>>501864728Parry.
>>501864841Wow, every weapon had a parry?
>>501865723No. But every PvP build would have one. Either a main gauche (parrying dagger) or a small shield.
>>501864728ds1 had op parry frames on everythingds2 had varying parry frames on some weaponsbb had another type of attack ds3 had weaponartser has ashes of war (weaponarts)
Is there any hopes for an Elden Ring 2? I know that Miyazaki wants to move on, but perhaps another developer at From could successfully take it on.
>>501866206No. From in general hates sequels, and given how /dsg/ troons review bombed Elden Ring for not being Dark Souls 4, a sequel is unlikely.
>>501866206We'll get DS4 before ER2
I was talking to someone that had a cold, and I realized how funny it is that cold is a sickness you can get but also the name of an infusion in elden ring
>>501866206Probably not but I really really want a second oneAnd a third oneAnd a fourth and a fifth and a sixth and a seventh and an eidth Isk about more after that thougg
>>501866724autism.
>>501855460the lore got rewritten very near to the release. Eclipse eyes imply the Godwyn thing was real but then got cut. Remember:>Land of Shadow is effectively the netherworld for TLB>The Scadutree gets virtually zero lore or explanation>Prince of Death is irrelevant and absent in the land of deathI'm not a godwynfag, I'm just a lorefag who hates how badly the DLC lore shits the bed. They don't explain almost anything about the story except vague Marika backstory. It's awful. Miq's followers were kinda cringe too, there wasn't nearly enough drama or intrigue with them. The charm breaks and basically everybody still sucks your dick unless you purposefully ignore their quests.
>>501866949I dont have autism
>>501867038The scadutree is explained, it's the shadow of the erdtree
>>501866206From didn't necessarily achieve what they were going for with ER & SoTE but they burned through their creative drive for it and souls clones in general. They're more likely to release a mascot platformer than anything resembling a sequel to Elden Ring within the next 10 years.
>>501867126>>501867126>it's the shadow of the erdtreeThat's not an explanation at all shit-for-brains.
>>501867126>shadow existed before the erdsneed
What level would you recommend for fighting consort radahn?
>>501867038I'm in the same boat, and I'm not even a lorefagI knew the DLC was going to have a mediocre story but I didn't realize it would be as bad as it was, it's almost offensive how bad it is
>>501862129>Jobs to Margit, a weaker version of Morgott>Jobs to Malenia>Jobs to the Tarnished>Jobs to the Tarnished AGAIN after becoming a literal god for some gay retardRadahn fans can't catch a break.
>>501867038I think it's funny that the shadow tree is the erdtree equivalent giant landmark that dominates the scenery yet has no relevance. No one is concerned with it and you can't even get to it. It's just a decoration.
>>501867519scadutree level 20after beating the main game you should be rl150 and after exploring everything in the dlc you should be rl200 before radahn
>binge the entire game>get to promised consort>stopdid this happen to anyone else
>>501868126No, only to soulless G*rmans.
>>501868126He's not fun and there's no incentive to kill him.
>>501868126yes, he is simply not a fun boss fight
>>501867190>>501867260Tfw you realize it's not >The Scadutree is the shadow of the Erdtreeit means>The Scadutre is the Shadow of the ErdtreeThe scadutree is a shadow like blaidd was to Ranni, it's meant to keep the Erdtree in line and kill it if it betrays the Golden Order and was elevated to that position by the Greater Will (it existed before thougg that's why it was elevated not created)The scadutree avatar is something Miquella went to to to charm and use to break the great rune to break his connection with the Greater Will and set the Scadutree against the ErdtreeThis is actually true!Why is the scadutree avatar in the Black Keep if Miquella apparently broke his Great Rune there? And so is Miquella's arm? Was he just walking around the Black Keep and Messmer just didn't react and had no opinion on it? Was he okay with it, was he powerless to stop him? Why does the dlc basically have two halves but like jone of them interact? Miyazakiiiii
>>501868341Who is this slut you keep posting
>>501868341Stop asking question about this outsourced DLC lol
>>501868341I like that you're still trying but since we won't know unless we get a TV Show or Movie someday, I've just filed away Elden Ring as a great Soulsborne that fails to achieve the ludonarrative harmony and greatness that BB did.
>>501868437Gigantogiganormous if true
>>501868476>>501868537I know but I don't like answering "We don't know" to everything even if that like is the actual answer
>>501868804Give me a proper fucking answer goddammit
>>501868946Sure but now you understand exactly why the lore community imploded. We edged for TOO LONG and then got given -FUCKING NOTHING-Lorefags can't operate on headcanon alone and I noticed that when the miquella's eyes controversy dropped, that's when the lore community basically self-deleted.
>>501869112>Lorefags can't operate on headcanon aloneThe weak ones can'tI am simulating an entire copy of Elden Ring: Scholar of the Original Sin in KY head RIGHT NOW
>>501869112I was so excited for the DLC because of the lore (im a retarded faggot)At this point I am just running on my own headcanon to fill in the potholes and retarded decisions. I dont think everything should have an answer but some of the decisions are so open ended and the answers we do get are so small.
>>501869090Elle Dee Ring
>>501869471Miyazaki reached peak fartsniff by holding back on the special lore doc his favorite gaijin author co-authored with him. The only redemption is if all the "potholes" get filled by a sequel or piece of canonical media.I still respect him but he needs to drop another BANGER to prove that SotE was merely a blip.
>>501869654I'm glad that video ended up being a joke because it looked so gross
>>501869750It's a masterful parody of similar clips. Everybody get dazzled by a little swizzled sauce.
>>501869750you're a joke and you look gross
>>501869965I'm not and I dont
>>501869963I fuckin love drizzled sauce
>>501870359Swizzle. Not drizzle. Drizzle is just to drip. Swizzling is when you make the little oscillating pattern. If you've seen enough of these streetfood clips, you'll know what I mean. They act like adding hotsauce to a fucking lamb kebab platter is artful. It's a cope like they're latte artists who can put a pikachu into your morning latte.

>>501874847How hairy is your pussy?
It's crazy how Midra isn't the final boss of the DLC. I've never before seen a boss with this much "I'm the final boss" energy who isn't actually the final boss. He's in some secret irrelevant side area you almost certainly won't find without a guide or a lucky player message, and doesn't contribute anything to the story? What a fumble.
>>501875052I used to pull out my pubes and then sometimes when you pull out hair like that it has a white bit of skin or something, that I would put down on where I knew ants walked through where I lived and they would bite the white part wnd eat/carry it away. The ainsel river tunnels with the ants there reminded me of that
>>501875156I found Midra just fine, I don't use guides. Pretty inevitable to stumble upon the access catacomb if you explore every corner.
>>501875156>I've never before seen a boss with this much "I'm the final boss" energy who isn't actually the final bosspontiff sulyvahn>>501875290why would you tell this to anybody
>>501875156Fromsoft likes the bug important but little spoken character in side area, Midra was just that
>>501875290Answer my question, whore
>>501875352Why wouldnt I
>>501875473I didn't want to answer so I told a similarly related story
>>501867038>Land of Shadow is effectively the netherworld for TLBNot quite. The center of the Lands Between is just where the first gravekeepers that made contact with the god of death lived so that area has close connections with the netherworld. If anything it's more like a Purgatory where the spirits that died elsewhere in the Lands Between drift to get in line for the actual netherworld. Of course now that the deathbirds or mostly gone the spirits have just been stacking up.>>They don't explain almost anything about the story except vague Marika backstory.>explains Marika's origins and her rise to power>explains why the Omen curse exists>explains the relationship between ancient dragons and drakes and why Placidusax is damaged>explains what culture the mysterious ruins scattered across the entire Lands Between belonged to>gives further insight on the deathbird culture that ruled the Lands Between before Marika and possibly even explains the entire Uld culture and their relationship with the rest of the loreThis dlc has more explanations than any dlc before, they just weren't the explanations you wanted.
>>501875156>you almost certainly won't find without a guideEveryone did, you obviously have to exit through the shadow keep and the church district cutscene pretty much exists to show you that the water is flowing down to the very obvious playable ruins below so you should follow the water.

When Metyr does her giant Arquebus Balteus laser attack, how do you dodge it? It feels like the first spin of the laser beyblade is literally unavoidable.
>>501876451Most of the DLC lore is generally pretty good. Besides the main story the only lore part I've seen people complain about is the fingers, which I find bizarre since it's the one thing the DLC introduced that could've been deduced entirely from base game information besides Metyr's existence, the DLC just makes it more explicit because I guess it was too subtle for your average Fromtard. HOWEVER the Miquella story, which was the main draw, is so fucking bad and awfully written it sours everything else
>>501885751Literally the only videos I could ever find about 100% dodging it/hitless areA: using raptor of the mistsB: lucky enough that it doesn't happenLol

Don't reply to it
>>501887326>>501887172
>>501868341Ok, here's the real answer, I'm sorry:SOTE was originally two different DLC's. One was the Miquella plotline, the other was the Messmer plotline. Because of time and budgeting reasons, both plotlines were folded into the same DLC which created a lot of disconnects.
>>501886437>>501887248oh, that's disappointingon a related note, why is vow of the indominatable so garbage? it doesn't last nearly long enough to escape anything you'd want to use it on

>putrid crystalian triowho the fuck thought this boss was ok?
So, let me get this straight: Ranni stole the Rune of Death, asked Mirror Hat Man Giant to forge a bunch of death rune daggers, and then assassinated his half-brother demigod Godwyn, JUST to find out if she could kill a demigod's soul? THEN, she also had one of those skinny mofos stab her body, freeing her soul, embedding her soul to a doll?! And all of that hard work of ill-gotten gains, was to ultimately to use the Moon as a space ship to travel the cosmos!?!?!?
>Invaded by Anastasia, Tarnished-Eater >She input reads to dodge and punish every single weak attack without fail>She input reads my weapon art but rolls so early that it always roll catches her>Brainlessly spam weapon art to winIs this what gitting gud has been reduced to? Mortal Kombat final bossfights where you find the one AI exploit or overlooked mechanic to cheese fights this lazily designed? I know she's just a random invader but this feels like a microcosm of the whole game. This isn't a challenging game where I have to improve myself to overcome difficult fights, this is looking up the one thing that works (or brute forcing through every item and move until you find it) and then doing it repeatedly. It's like using freezing pots on Malenia or Bewitching Branches for Niall. It's a point and click adventure game dressed up with combat mechanics.
>>501897374you're a complete low iq low skill shitter if you struggle vs anastasia
>>501897374too many word
>>501897374>uppercase after meme arrowSpotted the /dsg/ tourist. Go back.
>>501897181No, kinda but like no, we don't know if it was an accidental discovery ehen she tried to kill herself out of spite or on purpose, but she killed herself at the same time as Godwyn, which let her soul live on and her body die , in attempt to change her fate as an Empyrean/Heir to MarikaIt didn't fully do the trick so then you now hop in in part 2/plan B
>>501897836Dsg raped me
>>501897374Huh???
>>501897374>It's like using freezing pots on Malenia or Bewitching Branches for Niall. It's a point and click adventure game dressed up with combat mechanics.yeah it's like parrying gwyn, or redirecting lightning on genichiro
>>501897374Why did you guys look up stuff? I just figured everything out on my own. And tried all sorts of stuff out and has fun… You guys all think too hard.
>>501897572Nice job failing to raid anything I said. Let me dumb it down enough for you to understand: If an enemy always punishes one attack and always rewards another attack, then it's boring to fight. I mash a button and win if it's the right button or lose if it's the wrong button. >>501898127It's been more than ten years since I learned about parrying Gwyn and I'm still upset they included that in that fight. It's still more engaging than a lot of fights in Elden Ring because I have to worry about timing the parry.>>501898281I didn't look up anything for my first playthrough. For later ones, I looked up a ton of stuff because I'm not going to waste time backtracking across the entire map in the hopes of randomly stumbling across the next location an NPC randomly moved to. I didn't look up boss strategies either, just sort of absorbed those two from cultural osmosis.
>>501899280Maybe u had bad luck. Anastascia didn’t always dodge my normal attacks
>>501900191Everything either always input reads or doesn't input read at all. She didn't dodge my attacks when I used while she couldn't dodge, but she dodged all of them while she was standing or walking. She dodged all of my weapon arts like that too but didn't know how to dodge with the correct timing so all of them hit after the roll.Fucking atrocious design. First time I've ragequit over winning because of how unsatisfying the win was.
>>501897374For me, I just laughed because night sorceries completely fucking pwn NPC's, as by design, AI cannot read night sorceries being castshe also eats shit from counterattacks if you're a shieldnigger or a deflectnigger and a two handed man can just bait out one of her jumping attacks and immediately punish heranother trick is to use miriam's vanishing + pancake mallet like in this webm, since it works on any in-game AI too
>>501901345I thought she was really satisfying BECAUSE of her rush doen and punish moveset. It felt like outsmarting an ogre with finesse
>>501901435Is this a level 300 webm
>>501901631nta but what pissed me off about her is she invades when you're getting raped by dogsfighting her 1v1 is actually pretty fun because you have to figure out how to make her whiff and punish her, or use some kind of alt strat like other anons suggested to get her
>>501897374Bro its a fucking npc fight what did you expect, if you want a challenge go rape madison instead (in arena pvp)
>>501901435Your armor doesn't really fit the theme of your build.
>>501901924You don't have to say that and I'm good at the game, retard
>>501901898I always just run through and grab the grace immediately and end up fighting her in the church, iv3 never dealt with the nearby dogs at the same time
>>501902043That's why I said it would be a challenge illiterate fucking retard
>>501901242Damn bitch you pale as hell
>>501901784Yes.>>501901950>themeI just want to kill. High level PVP is fucking cancer it was just the only webm I had on hand to demonstrate the chaincast
>>501901924I suppose it wouldn't be a challenge to rape her in real life
>>501902224Well she wants to be raped to death, so consent is implied. Therefore its actually impossible to rape her in real life. Her body, your choice.
>>501902224>her
>>501901242Women images are weird.
>>501902197It looked very cool
>>501902149Oh that makes sense sorry
>>501901631>outsmarting input reading>outsmarting the most basic if:then statement>>501901435That sounds like a really boring way to win. If the AI isn't complex enough to react to your attacks then the win has all the tactical depth of turning on infinite health in cheat engine. There's no counterplay or thought just mashing a button until free win.>>501901924I was expecting something with as much complexity as NPCs in earlier installments instead of less. I was also expecting a game where fighting bosses and enemies involved learning how to deal with attacks instead of finding the win button and pressing it.
>>501902748>>outsmarting input readingLiterally yes

I'm asking for NPCs to be as interesting as previous NPCs instead of incredibly boring.>go fight an actual bossDo you not know what microcosm means? It means a smaller instance of a larger pattern.

>autist ruins the game for himselfmany such cases. sad!
>>501905076He has leprosy
>>501897181>>501897880We know Ranni knew what she was doing. How she knew of the rite in the first place is another matter (I assume snow crone, or Marika told her), but the plot itself was known before hand. She gave Rykard traces of Destined Death to use against Maliketh in the event some part of the plan failed. He was her last resort, as it says, 'on the night of the dire plot'.I do wonder about how much it worked. She's evidently free now but still needs to kill her two fingers instead of just... proceeding with the plan? Idk, it is strange, but the plot itself was a well thought out affair.The moon isn't a space ship though (probably), it's just a moon. But all celestial objects in ER are magical/semi divine, and the moon isn't an exception. The Dark Moon is bonkers, and might be a microcosm? Idk, bonfirevn had a video recently exploring the cutscene map and the dark moon is weird, but not like a spaceship, more like there's something inside it, or used to be
>>501905076pretty sure he's admitting to having gingivitis, which you develop when you don't brush your nasty ass teeth
>>501904545>>501905010that sounds fucking dope, why did people always tell me scholar was worse than even vanilla ds2 and wasnt worth playing?
>>501905506Because it feels like DaS2 Director's Cut. Hardly worth being its own product.
>>501905506Well, I'm not saying dark souls 2 was the BEST even if scholar is my favorite souls title, it certainly had its problemsBut it got a seriously bad rap from its detractors and despite Scholar being an objective improvement 99% of the time, a lot of people wrote it off when it came out. Most of the people you see complain about SOTFS didn't actually play it and may not have even played the original dark souls 2 and are just parroting the popular opinion, because people for a long time and to an extent even today get shit on for saying they liked the game or didn't think it was that bad.This is especially true if you're from /dsg/ when it was still alive
>>501905226Here's the video: https://youtu.be/VDIT5uT00Q4?t=27The Moon looks even weirder than in game.It looks like warping from gravitational lensing. People say it's like a black hole, but they absorb all light, and would present as a giant black orb. The stars inside the moon are visible, just warped, and they are falling towards a space slightly to the top of the sphere of the moon. There's a galactic core on the right, the bright mass of stars, and notably, all the stars are blueshifted, ie moving towards the viewer, not away.I think it's possible there's a black hole in orbit of the planet of the LB, or the star it orbits, or even just nearby, but the moon itself just seems to reveal these things, not actively make them happen. A bit like a mirror
>>501905506vanilla ds2 has a much gentler difficulty curvesotfs decides to anal rape you in the middle of the game if you dont kill enemies one at a time at iron keep as they come at you lmao.
>>501905826I think it's just a weird visual, not meant to be related to like physical space phenomenon
>>501905506>why did people always tell me scholar was worse than even vanilla ds2 and wasnt worth playing?literally who fucking says this
>>501905963> if you dont kill enemies one at a time at iron keep as they come at you lmao.Is that not like how everyone plays every fromsoft game?
>>501905970Yeah probably so. Such an odd choice though, but I suppose no weirder than a several miles high glowing tree
>>501905963>actually have to kill enemies instead of just running past them to the bossgod dark souls 2 is truly dogshit
All of the mending the elden ring endings should've been as unique as like the ranni and Frenzied Flame ones"The age of ___" isn't enough, you can like keep the same dialogue but liek could you have atlwast like shown some skeletons in leyndell or something for the necromancy one and people curled up crying in the cursed one
>>501906425>actually have to kill enemiesOh no I have to play the game haaa the horror, THE HORROR!!
>>501906425>>501906210I mean that’s the complaint for scholar’s iron keep. People hate the enemy placement probably because they rush in and die or didn’t upgrade their weapon.
It is funny to me how the more I watch challenge runs for ER, particularly DLC challenge runs, the more it bleeds through how disappointed the runners are with the game, and how much they unironically don't like the content at all. I wonder how long they'd stick with the game if it wasn't such a money maker because it really seems more like they're more frustrated with the game than fun with the game.
>>501906825Oh wait and people don’t like the smelter demon runback if they die. So I guess that’s understandable. Forgot about smelter demon.
>>501906825the first time I played DS2 I did the old iron king as my second great soul and I had a rough time in iron keeppretty sure most of the alonne knights in the first half were despawned by the time I beat smelter demon
>>501906606The levels and enemies have always just been filler in between the bosses. I wish there was a setting to make it like furi where you just get dialogue inbetween bosses and can rub ut on autopilot instead of having to grind through it.
>>501907050
>>501907163It's a joke, but I bet people are really like that
>>501905076Asmongold has bleeding gums. I'm saying that I may look like shit but at least I'm not to the point of wiping blood from my gums onto the wall next to my bed.
>>501905506Scholar took bad enemy layout and turned it into atrocious enemy layout. It improved the item layout so that most of the interesting weapons aren't locked behind the king's ring. If you're comfortable slowly pushing through repetitive enemy spam you'll find the NPC AI to be incredibly charming and the fun type of frustrating. Stuff like Forlorn having a tiny chance to invade you in every single area in the entire game winds up adding a lot, and the random "oh fuck NOT YOU NOT NOW GOD DAMN IT" gives a lot of replayability. NPC summons intentionally trying to cast buffs on you and heal you and using gestures to try to convince to come over so that they CAN do that gives them a ton of personality. It's especially fun when you see that they have different sets of gestures if you interacted with them in other ways. Some summons invade you later and change what they do if you summoned them before fighting them. >>501906606>>501906425The problem with Iron Keep is that you fight the same enemy in the same environment 20 times in a row. A silver knight in a room backed up by a silver knight archer is fun the first time. When you have to fight 20 of them in their own 20 rooms, it gets very boring. Alonne knights are a fun enemy, but every single fight between the bonfire and Smelter is either a small room or a narrow walkway with lava on one or both sides while an archer shoots at you. Make me do that twice and make the third one different somehow (maybe TWO archers or fight a captain instead) and it would be fine. But they seriously ask you do the same fight at least 15 times.
>>501907467I'm sure there are. Just as I'm sure there are boss rush mods for ER.
>>501907542>average wowfaggood god how awful
>>501907603Dark Souls 2 allows enemies to desspawn if you kill them enough, so eventually, you'll finish it.
>>501907012You can skip smelter demon by going into the furnace and climbing the ladder, but you don’t get that middle bonfire. It’s a rough location if you don’t have a decently upgraded weapon and stamina. Or a mace.
>>501907817yeah I know, but that middle bonfire is practically mandatory because of how difficult that second half isI suppose you can just get the belfry sol bonfire, but I didn't know that at the time
I HATE FURNACE GOLEMSI HATE FURNACE GOLEMSI HATE FURNACE GOLEMSI HATE FURNACE GOLEMS
>>501905826It seems like a view looking out, rather than into or at a black hole. But idk, optics is funky
>>501907769Killing them 12 times so that they despawn means you've done the exact same fight around 300 times and that just makes the bad design worse. Compare that to the enemy layout in DS1 or DeS: they make sure to add a small twist onto each fight so that the same enemies lead to unique combats. Take the lower undead burg: You fight dogs, and then after you fight thieves. Then, you (can bait dogs out first but usually) fight some dogs and thieves together at the same time, then you fight Capra.Hell, take Anor Londo once you're past the archers: You fight a spear knight in a room, then a sword knight in a room, then an archer in a hallway, then a sword and an archer at the same time on the roof, then two spears at the same time. These are all unique fights that gradually escalate the difficulty. That is good encounter design. If you replaced all of those with sword supported by a bow, it would be boring.I really like Dark Souls 2, but Scholar screwed up interesting combat design hard.
>>501908759>Killing them 12 times so that they despawn means you've done the exact same fight around 300 times?????????????????????????????American education, everyone, twelve is equal three hundreds!
>>501908759there are some areas with good variety (brightstone cove, lost bastille) but yeah iron keep stands out as an area with bad enemy variety>I really like Dark Souls 2, but Scholar screwed up interesting combat design hard.what were the enemies there in vanilla DS2?
>>501908929You have to kill each enemy 12 times, so if you have 12 enemies, and you have to kill each one 12 times then that IS 300ish.
Curseblade Assassins are the most unfun enemies in Fromsoft history.

>>501909489What a worthless post you have made
>>501907817>>501908259the blacksmith hammer you get early on from mcduffs room absolutely rapes the iron keep even if you dont upgrade it lmfao because of its counter modifier and the fact it hits multiple times per swing
>>501909528>>501909858It's not worthless I was asking for elaborating, that post means nothing
>>501908929>>50190916112 * 12 is 144 you fucking idiot. And you're definitely going to be killing multiple enemies per run. Good god did you just not learn your times tables?
>>501909072The enemy types are identical, the enemy layouts are worse. Iron Keep originally only had about 5 encounters between the bonfire and Smelter so it was less repetitive. They came close to tripling the total number of enemies. In the original, there was one knight on the first ledge in the lava pool room. Now there's 3 and one more that comes up from below. It's the exact same fight on the same platform 4 times in a rowIt's a standout area for how boring and repetitive it gets, but they did similar things throughout the whole game. You'll fight one dude in an area in the original, now a second or sometimes third one spawns after you killed the first. Instead of a gradual escalation where you fight more complex battles against slowly increasing numbers of a variety of enemies, you fight the exact same dude several times in a row with 0 changes.>>501909161You might first need to explain how addition works to help someone that stupid understand.

MADDY ARE YOU OKY
>>501910498You dont have to say that and yes why
>Runbacks used to have consequences because you might lose your souls>Nowadays not only there's almost never a runback, you can get billions of souls in one L2 click and it's all because casuals complainedHahaha....
>>501910151>with 0 changesThis isn't true though. And often, there are ways to interact with the environment that will kill most of the enemies in gank rooms. SOTFS is basically structured and balanced like a King's Field game, but in 3rd person.The game goes out of its way to teach you about this early, too, as the forest of fallen giants has multiple areas for you to learn how to do this. What changes about environmental design as the game progresses is how subtle the environmental interactions are, as they become less obvious as the game goes on. E.g. leading all the soldiers out of the ballista room to let the ballista kill them all in the forest, or using a firebomb in the garden filled with black barrels to clear the enemies walking around vs leading iron keep knights either into the furnace to lock them inside and kill them with the furnace, or leading them back to the secret room with the ballista to shoot them down, or dropping their platforms into lava, or using the hidden perch to snipe down at them where most of them can't hit you with spells or bow/arrow, etc., or kicking down the explosive barrel onto them from that same perch, etc.

>>501911734>Taurus>the French fry kittenNo
>>501910892Those are all encounters that are almost unchanged from vanilla DS2. Vanilla DS2 had okay enemy placement and good environmental mechanics if you learned to engage with it but the changes between versions mostly amount to repetition. Scholar added more enemies but rarely made it more challenging or engaging to fight them. When I said "with 0 changes" I was specifically referring to that one ledge. That one ledge has you fight a single Alonne knight while a captain snipes at you four times in a row, and there's no change in those four fights. It's a more time-consuming but not more interesting bit of gameplay.
>>501911734I am a runback enjoyer but the areas has to be designed for an enjoyable runback>>501911614 alonne's sucks ass for example, and so does blud and ziggy but the runback for twin princes is really fun
>>501911734Tedious at best, sadistic at worst. If I'm getting reamed by a boss fight, I want to get back and try again as fast as I can.

>>501912312vanillatards are very insecure about their game
>>501911734Objectively bad, they only exist to pad game length because all of DS or DeS is smaller in actual gamespace than Limgrave. I won't miss them.
>>501911518>They were calming after a hard fought (and lost) battle and gave some variety and bits of warmup gameplay inbetween attemptsYou can still do that without a runback by walking away and fighting nearby enemies. The only thing that MANDATING runbacks do is make you waste time, both directly (by making you go through the same area twenty times) and indirectly (by disconnecting you further from the boss's moveset so you don't learn it as quickly). It's literally just filler, the level design equivalent of those recycled dragon leg model followed by seven Taurus Demons enemies in Izalith.
>>501912701I always thought alonne having a runback at all was fucking retardedHe's a boss in a memory zone, so why bother with it? The other memory zones didn't have meaningful runbacks for this very reason, there were strict time limits so the amount of shit you could be expected to deal with in that time frame was also necessarily limited. The DLC's were honestly proof to me that only midwit feedback was reaching tanimura's ears, especially with how praised the DLC's were when they came out despite being the worst designed parts of the game.
>>501912589>>501911274
>>501912109I think the other problem is that the bosses keep getting harder, so if u had a super long runback for like malenia, it just wouldnt work. But ds1 bosses are pretty simple so its not as aids.
Bros, what do you think about scadutree fragments?I kind of get why they exist, but I personally don't like it. I have trouble putting to words why, but I think it's because it feels so disconnected from actual character progression.

>>501913602get your filthy HANDS off of my WIFE
>>501913602I liked it at first but sort of soured on themI think Reforged did the concept better, making there be more of them and you can trade them in for different upgrades that you choose

>>501913602Textbook open world bait mechanic: it pads out your first run, and during that first run it feels good, but it feels awful on every subsequent run when you realize you gotta run around all these obscure corners of the map doing a WW Triforce hunt because otherwise you're hard gatekept out of damage and resources. Same issue as having to re-do dozens of shrines in BOTW, you might have fun in your first playthrough but god damn does it kill the fun of subsequent runs.

>>501915195The girl that Selvius kidnapped to make into the puppet has no good ends, it's so funnyShe either gets killed by Jerren and you, gets her body turned into the giant ball for something she had no hand in, or stays Selvius rape doll forever if you never progress the quest
>>501915265That's the entire game
Anyone down for an FC?

Fuck my internet is acting up again, give me a few minutes to requeue
>>501924090That happens sometimes yea its okayI have a heated blanket and food but I feel like I'm forgetting something about the fc
>>501924274what are you eating?
>>501924472Shrimp chipsThey are very gross
Back now>>501924274Sounds comfy, not sure what you could be forgetting tho
>>501924542Probably to record for webms, I'm not gonna bother
Haven't played in a while, just downloading the DLC now. Is 125 still the best invasion range for all game? I'm not asking about meta. I'm asking if you still get scrubs and vigorlets at that range. I want to be able to invade every possible area in the game.
>>501923803Did you unlock it yet??
hurry up aaaaaaagggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
3/4
4/4Yay
No fair, me deflecting the thirst on3 was really cool
(And then you requeue)
Damn roaring dragon bastard. Sorry it took me so long to get ready
I think some of you have to requeue. I did and it says 2/4 now
fug this im gonna invade instead
Well that one fight was fun at least, it's a Monday so that makes senseGg everyone
>>501927610GGs too. Weird how half the FC disappeared after the first match but okay
Gg guys. I'll upgrade my weapons before the next one so I'm not poking for like 200 damage. Sorry again about the holdup
>>501902197Shoro?
>>501912312???I'm sorry, but I don't understand why you think I'm not speaking in good faith. Did I misunderstand the point you were trying to make? The FoFG ballista stuff was in the original, the bomb barrel kill room is in vanilla (but changed to kill 3 enemies instead of a single ironclad), the furnace and ballista was in the original, and if memory serves the explosive barrel you can kick down was in lost bastille and in both versions. I'm not saying that Dark Souls 2 had the worst encounter design, far from it! All I'm trying to get across is that the encounters in Scholar don't IMPROVE on the original, they're often a step down because they're more repetitive or at best repeating what Vanilla already did. I'm not complaining about the gank rooms. I'm complaining about the points where you fight the same dude several times in a row in a sequence. This is different from several at once.
>>501922572>one DLC boss made me hate the entire game

>>501930028Good morning but it's night
>>501930907bad picture
>>501922572>they make you do this absolutely retarded runback.wow it's like the devs of DS2 foresaw your skill issue and made it so they stop spawning after you kill them enough times as a kindness for you.
>>501931591How?
>>501932079the same people who say shit like that anon were also the same people who complained about the despawn mechanic btw
Godslayer greatsword or fire Knight'sThe poke r2 is coolBut muh aow
>>501932081boring, shallow, gimmick
>>501930907the sun rises a little late this time of year sure, but here this hour does still toll for dawn crowds all the same, your smelly time zone has my deepest condolences for the time being
What's Elden Ring like on XBOX FAT? I found some fatties for cheap and wanted to know if it's any good. PS4 is much more expensive and there's no gamepass
>>501935182You think its too shallow and she should go deeper, wowowowowowow
What happens to the scars when she changes into a snake?
>>501936890I'm actually not even sure she actually HAS a human form. You get the necklace that has like the picture of the noble on it for her that looks like rya and like it's the same type of necklace that you use to swap between invader and host visuals. It might not be like an inherent human then lizard swapping, the human might just be an illusion from the necklaceBut I prefer that she does switch so my assumption is that like she has the scars underneath the scales
>>501940857Im so retarded I was just spamming /dsg/ because I was in the wrong threadIm sorry
>>501940924
Is there anything George did in Elden Ring? I could understand it if George had made a Souls tribute series, but there's a lot that doesn't feel like it was written by George.
explain
>>501869654>>501869471>>501869112>>501868537>>501868341>>501867190We had this talk about Dark Souls 3 alreadtJust because you didn't understand the lore, it doesn't mean you can make headcanons about muh cut content
>>501867038>the lore got rewritten very near to the release. Eclipse eyes imply the Godwyn thing was realHeadcanonThe Eclipse is never associated to Godwyn returning. It's associated to the Sun Realm though, and Miquella's eyes aren't showing the Evlipse but a sun shining.>>Land of Shadow is effectively the netherworld for TLB No, it's the Land of Shadow, where things without grace that die go>>The Scadutree gets virtually zero lore or explanation False, it's the Shadow of the Erdtree, which collects the soul of those dying without grace>>Prince of Death is irrelevant and absent in the land of death The Prince of Death is relevant to the base game lore, and to the Shattering>I'm just a lorefagYou are not a lorefag, you are a newfag, otherwise you would know not to expect the most boilerplate plotline from Miyazaki. The Eclipse is tied to the downfall of the Sun Realm, which was the era precedent to Marika. Miquella's reversal of the Eclipse and the sun shining is him removing the causality of Marika's Order from the world.The Eclipse specifically, seems to trap demigods that weren't slained between life and death. Godwyn is just the last of them as Ensha and the Mausoleum with Nox architecture reveals. You want to flatten worldbuilding to fit Godwyn where there's a way bigger picture to itThe bleeding sun and the sun shining in Miquella's eyes look nothing alike >>501854568 and the DLC picks an inspiration the Comviction Arc of Berserk, where Griffith makes the Sun shine with a process that is THE OPPOSITE of the Eclipse, so what Miquella achieved is not an Eclipse, literally the opposite.
>>501943171headcanon
>>501853334I feel like I should take out terra magica out of my spell selection - unless I move I die
>>501858571>Retarded and bad player gets fucked by spammy retardsThis is bad somehow according to /dsg/troons>>501864449Yeah let's make more useless dogshit trick weapon to ignore completely and that offer no advantage or gameplay variety whatsoever.>This goes in hand with R2 being a wasted input because stationary charge attacks are awful I wasn't expecting you to have actually played the game but you could have went through the effort of researching meta at least, retard
>>501855372And to achieve what?
>>501855372Ashes of War are fine. Armored Core VI put cooldowns and everybody called it out as lazy way to avoid balancing spammy gameplay, but Elden Ring has already animation committment, stamina and mind for attacks. If cooldown was a thing, being unable to use a skill when needed would be ass
>>501854568It's incredible how you are this fucking obsessed over something you also bothered to research or understand so very little.Do you still think Godwyn Knights have the Eclipse?
Godwyn is noncanonThereI said it
>>501945262how do you show level and ping?
>>501945370Seamless
I give up, I don't wanna bother with furnace golems, it's a pain, smack smack run away on torrent, smack smack, I don't wanna do it!People say to throw some pots from on high but this first golem is in the open

>>501943171>>501945164>his tears, forced headcanons and selective ignoring of in-game information and descriptions still flowNever stop the salt.
>>501938241Oh that's cool about the necklace. You may be right, like it's more of a magical disguise she puts on than an actual human body.And yeah I feel really stupid even asking cause snakes get scars like anything else and she still has legs even as a snake so the scars would probably just stay where they are...
Remembrance weapons are kinda lame in general, I thought hand of malenia would have un je ne sais quoi to it but it lacks a certain oomph to itI'm disappointed
*cuts off Madison's tits with a rusty knife*
>>501956717Why would you do that
>>501956929It is an act of love
>>501956989You're weird!
So, did they ever do anything to make co-op in the DLC less frustrating?

>>501962351dreadful reply my sweet baby, I know you can do at least a little better than that
Whole lotta violent sexual fantasies in this general...>>501952886Yeah they'd feel a lot more significant with unique move sets in addition to the (mostly,) unique skills. Especially since we find so many powerful, unique weapons out in treasure chests or just sitting in a corner that seem like they'd be boss weapons
about to jerk off
>>501943413TM has 2 main usessetting up for a comet azur and plopping it down so you can summon latenna and then walk away
>>501965435don't do it
>>501965435Me too. Haven't quite decided on the poison yet though.
>>501865723No, only some of them. DS1 actually just had most weapons block if you 2h L2'd them. There were no paired weapons or power stance. Only a few weapons had a parry on L2, and all of them were shit except the painted guardian curved sword and parrying dagger. DS2 added power stance, and most weapons when 2h had a parry. Most of them were shit, and parrying was harder in general than in DS1 so if you wanted to parry you were better off just running a buckler or power stancing with a dagger or curved sword.DS3 had weapon arts, which were generally the same as ashes of war, but way shittier and with way less variety.In Bloodborne L2 performed an attack with your left hand weapon. This was almost always going to be a gun of some kind which meant initiating a parry, but sometimes it meant using a torch jab or an iron fist punch or raising a shield (kek).In Sekiro, L2 activates the grappling hook.
I was actually having a good time fighting the lion at 0 blessing until its grab killed me from 90% health. I really don't think the scadu fragments were a good idea, the balance is almost right without them except for the idiotic boss damage output. The real issue is that From didn't come up with more interesting boss concepts. Of all the major bosses I think Midra is the closest to having a good idea, since it has the additional hurdle of managing frenzy buildup and he's kinda slowed down compared to the others to account for that extra element.
>>501866206Probably notpersonally though I kind of wish we'd get something like a new shadow tower or lost kingdom. Or another new IP would be fun too.
>>501967002Lost Kingdom is kinda overrated. t. emulated it on my deck earlier this year
>>501967148fuck you nigger you're overratedI wouldn't know I don't listen to other people's opinions. I always liked it though
ALRIGHT THATS IT YOU KNOW WHAT RANNI DID DO SOMETHING WRONGI NEED you all to understand something look at her corpse. She's damn near 9 feet tall. Her corpse also has a butt as large as or larger than marika's. We see from her aunt that carian women had large breasts too. She had cute red hair. She was a massive fucking nerd and that's the only thing she kept over. It's implied that carian women are lovesick. You could've had a 8-9ft tall, nerdy, lovesick, red haired, large assed like marika, large breasted like rellana, magical wife with large cute feet like her mom. But she killed it. She killed it. This is worse than killing godwyn. How can you abide by that rannifags? How? She threw perfection away. I don't care if you genuinely love her regardless. Imagine the personality you fell in love with and an amazing body on top of that. You were robbed. Robbed more than maliketh was of the rune of death. Robbed worse than godwyn was of his soul. Robbed worse than a guy on a bike in a black neighborhood. RANNI DID WRONG. THIS CANT BE DEFENDED.
Why did she do it?
>>501967616pumping

>>501966772Funny thing is weponarts were balanced well for pvp but that made them shit in pve. Now in elden ring it’s the opposite.

Maddy gawking at the size of my bully's BBC....
>>501967783I miss FROM's old output. They used to churn out bangers like nobody's businessUntil dark souls came out in 2011 they averaged 4 titles/yr. That's 44 games between 2000 and 2011.between 2011 and 2024 they've made 13 games. Almost 1/4th the output.Grim. And that shit wasn't shovelware they were developing either.
>>501970930jerk off before posting, cuck>>501970968tbf from used to develop mostly one off single-A niche titles. the lowest budget game they've published since dark souls would be considered a AA game.
>>501971253i guess yeahthere's also to consider that there were plenty of handheld platforms to develop for at the time, they did a fair number of DS and PSP gameskings field additional still looks kino
Man I wish there were re-runable dungeons in the game for farming rune arcs would give you a lot more changes for co-op and PvP it seems pretty dead at the moment and its a shame once you clear a boss that's it done. Need an area like chasm of the abyss in ds2 where when you get to the end its a random boss of some sort and you have to light 3 tortches each time to access it. Then make 3 or 4 different dungeons allow 2 co-op'ers plus 2 invaders and it would be great.
>>501971452Arenas should also allow you to fight NPC phantoms for rune arcs, change my mind
>>501971945I do honestly hate how shortsighted online elements have made the developers making these games
can anyone help me transfer items from 1 character to another?
In the Japanese text Mohg is directly referred to as a yorishiro and Marika and her kin as miko. These are specific Shinto religious terms.Yorishiro = a vessel capable of attracting a divine spirit (kami) and giving them a physical space to occupy during religious ceremonies. Remember the talk about horned beings (like Mohg) being associated with spirits?Miko = a Shinto shrine maiden who can summon kami and become a vessel for them by doing a specific ritual. Remember the talk about Marika being a vessel of the Elden Beast? Miquella is an androgynous clone of Marika who's explicitly ascending the same way.In Shinto, the deification of generals, particularly prominent military leaders, is often seen through the concept of "kami," where individuals who displayed exceptional leadership and bravery during life could be considered as spirits or deities after death, particularly if they were associated with a specific clan or region; a notable example is Hachiman, the war deity, who is considered the deification of Emperor Ōjin, a historical Japanese ruler known for his military prowess. But they have to die first. Also on the subject of Shinto,Kannushi = a "divine lord/master of ritual", responsible for summoning the kami, always a man while the miko is a womanNote that in addition to being a war God Hachiman is also a god of archery. Radahn is referred to as a war god in the Japanese text and uses a bow.Tl;dr: Radahn made the vow to help with the ritual but for the ritual to work he has to ascend himself first. He does this by fighting his war and then dying against the only foe whose defeat of him would not disqualify him, the mighty undefeated Malenia. He then goes to the divine gate and performs his role as kannushi with Mohg as yorishiro and Miquella as miko. In the end Miquella and Radahn's ascended spirits (kami) are bound to Mohg's physical body, and both fade away when they vessel is slain (like the Divine Beast).
>>501972908Japanese translation = don't careEnglish game
>>501971945yeah that would be fun too, I enjoyed fighting the ones for great jar talisman and in fia's boss fight.
>>501972979Retard.
*taps on glass*HELLLOOOOO?
>>501974647Hewwo?
>>501972908This Shinto ritual is also literally what's being described on the scroll Ansbach deciphered.秘儀の巻物白い樹皮の巻物影に隠された塔にあるという神の門の秘儀が記されているだが、読み解けるのは、ごく一部だ神の帰還は王により導かれ王の魂には、依り代が求められる神の帰還は王により導かれ王の魂には、依り代が求められる依り代 is directly yorishiro. It's not a general term for a "vessel", the word has no other meaning. 神 is kami of course. The Lord 王 is summoning the god 神 to the vessel 依り代 that they're both using, implicitly because in addition to playing the role of kannushi 神主 divine lord of ritual, he has himself also become a kami (hence the reference by Miquella to a "strong soul" in Japanese). https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BE%9D%E3%82%8A%E4%BB%A3?oldid=41804734

>xe started samefaggingnot a good look
>>501981806Lorechad? He's a lore GOD. I wonder if he does his own research and owns a Japanese copy that would be so cool.
>>501972908>>501977403>>501981806>>501982143we haven't eaten this good since the Deep Thopps Lore thread last year and the related liurnia scholars.it sucks because usually when we get good posters like that it makes schizos seethe and shit themselves until they wind up leaving
>>501971452chalice dungeons>>501966772Everything you said is right, except you forgot to mentioned that in the case where some of the tricked weapons in Bloodborne that required 2 hands when transformed, L2 changed to an attack unique to that weapon. It varied between all the weapons too. For example, the Whirlygig Saw's tricked L2 let you hold the button down to basically chainsaw everything in front of you, and you could slowly walk around while doing this damage continuously until you ran out of stamina. The Blades of Mercy had a unique L2 that was a retreating double slash, and could be used very effectively while sprinting or to disengage from an enemy mid-combo.Ludwigs Holy Blade, the Burial Blade, The Kirkhammer, and the Hunter's Axe had completely unique L2 combos that were 3-4 hits long. L2 combos were some of my favorite things ever - Bloodborne weapons had such varied and unique movesets, especially weapons that had L2 combos.The Rakuyo, when tricked, had a lot of unique things going on. Firstly, in neutral, L2 was a spinning attack that had an additional L2 follow up. Tricked Rakuyo had a completely unique R2 combo where you alternated stabs with your dual wielded swords. But also it had the completely unique mechanic where if you pressed R1 then L2 or R2 then L2, your character would add a new attack to end your respective combo. For example, R1 + L2 would cause your character to do a slower, heavier swing with both swords for massive damage to end your R1 combo. R2 + L2 had you finish your R2 combo with a double stab from both weapons. The Rakuyo was already insanely good enough without this mechanic, especially its tricked R1 combo, but the fact that the devs put this extra love and care into it makes it all the better.There's more, but man, I love Bloodborne so much I'll just post about it unsolicited sometimes.
>>501982698I have no clue about the Deep Thopps lore / liurnia scholars but it sounds interesting. Can someone fill me in?>>501982698Personally, I had a great conversation with a fellow lore enjoyer in this thread weeks ago about hornsent culture, Belurat, Enir Ilim, Marika's deception, and a bunch more. It was just genuinely enjoyable and insightful. I always wondered if its the same guy I chat with or just a few of you loregods. Either way, lets keep em coming.
>>501983224What if in hornsent culture, high class foods and feasts are ones that have a bunch different meats in them since it's like the crucible in your dish
>>501983412Oh for sure. I bet hornsent food was basically a mix of completely unrelated foods like meats, veggies, dairy, grains all blended and mashed together with some horns from the animals sprinkled on top as a garnish. Its basically canon at this point.
>>501972908>Remember the talk about horned beings (like Mohg) being associated with spirits?This may also explain why the Omenkiller masks talks about them being infested by spirits in their nightmares and why the Omen Bairn shoots wraiths.
Hey Maddy, what kind of job do you have?>>501982698What's the thing about Thops?
>>501983603Funny you mention that, I was thinking the exact same thing the other day. Perhaps the nightmares that Omens experience are basically the cries of the hornsent - invading their dreams, manifesting themselves in the Omen's subconscious as a direct consequence of the hornsent creating the Omen curse out their misery (not so different from the flame of frenzy being manifested by the merchants). Of course the Omen who experience these nightmares would have no idea why they're happening - and any who report it or talk about it would basically come off as mentally ill because Marika obscured the history of the Hornsent and the Shadowlands.

>>501984036I wonder if the two Omen on the bridge are supposed to have anything to do with the shadowlandsI know like they're just supposed to be mohg and moegott (one has cut horns and the other doesnt) but the way they teleport and ambush you in that weird shadow plane is very unique

>>501983224its in the archives but tl;dr>analyzing jp text anons revealed that "bluntstone" actually just refers to thopps specifically, and that he was excluded from returning to the academy on purpose because of how much he made the academics seethe>this is why they kill him, because he returned after they kicked him out>it used to be a very common practice for glintstone sorcerers to impale their hearts with ritual glintstone daggers to create primal glintstones to body hop with, but at some point, it became seen as taboo and was outlawed. anons thought that this probably coincided with the rise of the golden order as a religion in the area>basically glintstone sorcerers and by extension the academy(tm) acts like a chink cultivation sect

watcha doin

>>501991864OK just dont engage with anyone who disagrees with you, that will definitely help your point rather than showing me if I'm incorrectI definitely won't just bounce off your idea and conclude that it's retarded
>>501991603how does>wow it turns out that translators got this, this, and this wrong and it significantly impacts how you perceive (X) or (Y)equate to the utter, inane schizobabble you just spewed? take your meds.
>>501992006Why would I engage with someone who either completely lacks reading comprehension or is going to do nothing but post in bad faith? There's no point.
I have gone from thinking that I kind of disagree with people using Japanese translation as evidence to thinking that people who do are actively schizophrenic and retarded in about the span of 5 minutes so congratsYour headcanon is noncanon
>>501985105For sure, that duo omen fight always stood out to me as really weird.
>>501992246pretty sure mike wazowski understands english enough to convey what he means. he's also pretty heavily involved with the translators and voice actors..

>>501985738>>analyzing jp text anons revealed that "bluntstone" actually just refers to thopps specificallyThis is such a fucking retarded take. It's just an insult he applied to himself and perhaps others did too. The fact that you pseudos keep falling into this same dunning kreuger trap is so fucking pathetic. >>501986637You stupid fucking faggot, all I said was you were all fixating on "bluntstone" as if it meant ANYTHING other than the obvious insult that it was. The rest of the theory is irrelevant and might or might not be true because it's all up to interpretation.
>>501993360I want Elden Ring 2 to have permanent companions
>>501992971Yup
>>501994002Him being called a bluntstone obviously implies that all the other people are thought of as "sharpstones" which means that glintstones have embedded themselves deeply in the Academy's idea of physiology.

>>501992246>>501994443No, I'm saying that me bringing up 1 counter example of how doing that could lead to incorrect conclusions led to you instantly being the most defensive faggot in the world which makes me not want to engage with your ideas
>>501994004Humans or like any monster
>>501994435>Him being called a bluntstone obviously implies that all the other people are thought of as "sharpstones" which means that glintstones have embedded themselves deeply in the Academy's idea of physiology.Yes correct. It's just an insult but these literal retards were acting like there's some sort of secret hidden meaning and context in the JP and then using it to justify and entire headcanon about how and why Thops dies or got expelled or whatever else. Troonslation faggotry is a cancer to be burnt away with extreme prejudice.
>>501994570Either I guess!
>mfw the trannylation schizo is getting uppity againUh oh. No wonder the lorefagging for this game died within 2 years while people are still analyzing the souls trilogy to this very day.
>>501994624I agree with you now
another reason to shut the general down
>501994202>i will trust the marketing telling me that im DEFINITELY not getting a watered down version of the real game
You didn't bring up a counter example though, you just went off on unrelated schizobabble and got mad when I correctly pointed out that you were either shitposting or actually retardedand you've admitted just now it was the former. Now cry harder.

So how to places without glintstones cast sorcery? Do they just not?
>>501972908>Tl;dr: Radahn made the vow to help with the ritual but for the ritual to work he has to ascend himself first. He does this by fighting his war and then dying against the only foe whose defeat of him would not disqualify him, the mighty undefeated Malenia.Malenia didn't kill RadahmThere's a crucible in Aeonia sprouted from Malenia's bomb attackThe Crucibles blend death and corpses to create power and ascend individuals, this is seen for Rykard, the Greatroots, the Spiral Tower and many other examples of Crucibles.Radahn's ascension was kickstarted by Malenia's bloom
>>501997646glintstone is just pyroxene so its unlikely to find places lacking italthough there are examples of catalysts without them so its pretty clear that you can cast sorcery without it
>>501997326Why not?
>>501997897It glows blue tho
>>501997897I just kind of assumed all of them like had glintstone in the core somewhere since the category says "glinstone staffs"
>>501997996thats you pushing your magic energy through it as a conduit, dingusthe only special glintstone we know of is the stuff the crystallians are made of, which is why sorcerers took to affixing pyroxene crystals to their catalysts in the first place
>>501998227wtf is pyroxene
>>501998227What about the lunar glintstone?
godwyn is gwyn
>>501998227But isn't it glowing when they're mined? Plus if it's a real material, can you do magic with it irl? But that's really interesting though, I didn't know that sorcerers mentioned a real rock in their file namesWhat other ways do you think that they can make catalysts with? Mainly I was wondering at first if the Land of Reeds just didn't have sorceries
The fun part is we can confirm the lore is last second slop trash because none of it matches even the latest cut content (cut so late it was still the actual game until the day one patch). Thank the dataminers for unveiling Michael Hacky's lies.

>>501998904>Can you do magic with it irl?no. some people thought so, but no.>Isn't it glowing when they're mined?There are many types of pyroxene that are thermoluminescent, tl;dr there are kinds that glow like that irl too>What other things can they make catalysts with?Anything that can become a focus I think, between the lord of death's staff using amber instead of pyroxene, or the staff of beyond using an eyeball, or the staff of loss which doesn't use anything at all and is just a stick
>>501998558>Pyroxenes are the most significant and abundant group of rock-forming ferromagnesium silicates. They are found in almost every variety of igneous rock. They also form under conditions of regional and contact metamorphism.>The name pyroxene is derived from the Ancient Greek words for 'fire' (πυρ, pur) and 'stranger' (ξένος, xénos). Pyroxenes were so named due to their presence in volcanic lavas, where they are sometimes found as crystals embedded in volcanic glass; it was assumed they were impurities in the glass, hence the name meaning "fire stranger". However, they are simply early-forming minerals that crystallized before the lava erupted.>The upper mantle of Earth is composed mainly of olivine and pyroxene minerals. Pyroxene and feldspar are the major minerals in basalt, andesite, and gabbro rocks.

>>502004779Yes
I don't fucking get these souls games and ER especially. 1400 hours in and I can go on and on and on 10 hours straight. 2 hours in every other game and I need a break after few hours. Playing Slitterhead - good game, 2 missions and I'm tired. Not with Elden Ring. Miyazaki you bastard, how do you do it.
>>502005276I think it has to do with playing on controller or keyboard. I can play most games that are better with controller for 2+ hours as well, but as soon as I have to use my keyboard like for a shooter I legit can't play for more than an hour and a half. I just quit out the game and go lay in bed on my phone
>>502005276>>502005869I can play with either kbm or controller for like 10 hrs straight lmao. For me it's just the gameplay loop + fromsoft usually makes it so hitting stuff feels good. Also pretty game.

>>502005276I get the tetris effect so bad with Elden Ring, where like I play out or like see the dodging and timings when in trying to sleep or daydreamingtfw I panic roll and get hit even in my own brain
>>501997190I agree with you, and it's dismaying.
>>502007587The what?
>>502007724stop samefagging.
>>502007724You struck a nerve, the "women" are malding.
I know what Elden Ring needs - Scholar of the Elden Sin edition. Make the DLC story connect to base game, fix everything related to Miquella, remove Radahn from DLC, add new enemies to DLC and remove endlessly repeating randomly placed enemies (like these endlessly repeating big birds).
>>502008182Tetris effectYe Olde name that came about because people who played tetris too much noticed they would basically be daydreaming about the way the blocks click together in their brain whenever they're unfocused The Wikipedia article about it really isn't accurate imo if you decide to Google it, it talks about relating real world physical objects to it so maybe I'm the wrong on3 but like my understanding of it is basically redoing the same spatial logic puzzle in your brain over and over and over and over again and so elden ring scratches that same itch that tetris does for me
>>502008717I still think that Miquella's stupidity is tied to Miyazaki hating that he got so popular with the fandom.
>I agree with you, and it's dismaying.
>>502008937I think I get it. I briefly had something similar, but for Touhou. It was a pain to get rid of it.
>>502009119Bullet hell games do that to me a lot too, I could never get onto it but I think Osu people probably get the same thing. My brain does it with Elden Ring's dodging
>>502008567samefagerald
>>501986962Now you're just being ridiculous
>>502010442No it's totally realAlso you know garlic powder?YeahYou're welcome
Fucking
Funny how in trailers Messmer was portrayed as this absolutely evil warlord. Yet in game the story has progressed so far that he has built a huge library, does archeological research and maintains a hospital. All that Miquella did on a same time was some maniac-depressive episode where he just walked around in random places with his mental health deteriorating which culminated with him building a Frankenstein monster.
>>502011503Tbf it's not clear if its a hospital trying to treat them or if it's like a research lab where he's dissecting them

Anons, I need opinions.I want to make a new character going for a classic fantasy knight vibe, sword and shield you get me, the super basic knight armor looks awesome for this already but I was wondering if you got any recommendations, capes are welcome
>>502014118I forget the exact setup, but if you're looking for pike a like cobbled together hedge knight look rather than like a noble knight, I like Vyke's chestplate since it has like the raggedy cloak and dent in it. I think I used blaidd's gloves but I can't remember what legs and helmet went well with it
>>502014118i've been thinking about doing a john ring run with raging wolf set + beast crest greatshield + ornamental straight sword
>invaded by "pls give boluses'>drop boluses for them>doesn't even attempt to pick them up and just attacksWhat was his problemWhy make that your name even thenI dont get it
>>502015117Can't expect much from an invcel.
>>502014118Redmane knight armor looks rather cool, I think I have seen no-one wearing it.Tree surcoat is nice too.
>>502014118>>502014696I remember the gloves actually, it was just the leather gauntlets called "Gauntlets" sold by I think Kalle or the merchant near the night's cavalry in the erping peninsula (for some reason these gauntlets aren't on the wiki last time I checked)
>>502014696>>502014832both nice ideas, I was considering the hosllow set minus tthe helmet or the carian knight or crucicle knight ones too. Bloodhound chestplate has a charm too...I'll test em all and see which combo looks better, thanks anons
>>502016424redmane looks good yeah, I just wish the chest plate protection was different, the asimetry kills me a bit
